Allow the phone gateway connection and one external BLE client to coexist by increasing the NimBLE connection limit and tracking multiple slave links in the firmware BLE connection state. Classify new NimBLE pairings as gateway only after the Pebble pairing service is used. Prune stale BLE gateway bonds without deleting non-gateway client bonds.

Sorry for the spam. This PR and the other three in the set have been running on my watch just fine, and the new feature works. Please let me know if you need more info/testing/etc. |

Pretty cool. Can you share how you tested this and which other BLE devices you tested with? |

I have tested it on my PT2, and connected to a Garmin 1040 computer and used a BLE sniffer on my phone to check that the packets start/stop when the workout starts/stops on the watch. |

Summary
Scope
This is the BLE infrastructure branch needed by workout HRM sharing. It intentionally does not add the HRM GATT service, HRM advertising primitive, or workout publishing logic.
Tests
git diff --check./pbl test -M 'test_bluetooth_persistent_storage|test_nimble_hrm_service'./pbl buildgitlint --commits HEAD~1..HEADNote:
test_gap_le_connectremains in the repositoryBROKEN_TESTSlist, so the new concurrent-slave-connection unit test is not run by the default test target until that suite is re-enabled.
